a journey to be a King

Being anointed to be a King, David was not directly being a King.
He was young when he was anointed to be a king.

There was a time that he had to play the harp for King Saul.
There was a time that he was being the escort of King Saul.
There was a time where he had to face the giant Goliath.
There was a time where he was being a fugitive. He had to run away from Saul.
There was a time where he pretended being insane. humiliated himself.
There was a time where he had to run to his nation's enemy for a refuge.

He's been through so many years.
He's been through so many trials
He's been through so many processes.

Yet, he proved it that he was being righteousness in everything he did.
Yet, he proved that he has a pure heart.
A heart that loving God more than anything.
A heart that are longing for God, no matter what.
A heart that really depends on HIM no matter what.

God, will surely processes you before He promotes/assigns you to the place/position that you've been anointed before.
Timing. Is always different from one to others.
For David, he took so many years before he achieved what has been promised to him.

The timing might be different for us. But surely, He will processes us before He can uses us.

Anyway, there was a time where David's followers were grieving and angry towards him. They wanted to throw the stones to him because they lost ALL of what they had. Their possession, their wives and children, and their livestock a well. (1 Sam 30:1-8)

What is the respond of David?
He went to God. He prayed. And he was strengthened his heart to trust Him ever more. (1 Sam 30:6)
⁶David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God (Amplified)

(^-^) thus, in whatever time we are now, please, do strengthened your heart to TRUST HIM evermore.
It's our part to strengthen our heart. It's not His part. It's our part.
He will surely hear you and take care of yours.

too good to be true

reading the judges really thrilled me away
read about how stubborn the Israelite that time.
read about how God handle the stubborness with His meekness.

He is truly too good to be true. Indeed, He is.

Though He said that He would not deliver them, yet when He found they were worshipping Him, once again His heart was touched. Thus HE raise His hand and deliver His people from their enemies.

Lord, really...
Am speechless in Your presence...
teach me to be humble
mold me as You want me to be
I would learn to be obedient to Your words

You are the God that will deliver Your people....
You are the God that set us free...
Lead me to lead your people..
Bring me to the center of Your heart
and let me know You more...

luv u Lord ♥

in His plan

after sometimes
when we've grown up
we would realize that somehow life is not that simple
yet not that complicated

it's a matter of waiting for the right time
it's a matter of responding with the right attitude
it's a matter of being persistent and detailed.

life is not always what we want it to be
but life will always be what He want it to be

always trust Him no matter what.

a simple to say, a hard to do

to say "Lord I'm willing to follow you wherever You may go" maybe simple.

Not to say that you are just say it out of the blue.
Nor to say that you are say it out of your emotion only.

when we said it. it is purely come from our sincerity.
nevertheless when the calling is come true, have u ever asked yourself honestly, "would i leave whatever i have right now?"

"Would i give ALL that i have now to serve HIM?"
"Would I be able to give up my money, my possession, my family, and else to follow Him?"

When we face the fact, yes, it seems so hard indeed. so many things suddenly pop up into our mind. And a lot of "what if" suddenly become familiar with our brains.

But, come to fact that He is in control. What we should do is being obedient.
Loving Him wholeheartedly, and everything will be added into your life.

He still and will always be in control

you will ever have some time
where you feel like you are lost
you find yourself out of nowhere
desperate
frustrated
and have no where to go.
as nothing else will worth for you.

you will ever have some time
where you feel like you are in heaven
everything is perfect and fit in its place
you are in your highest place
you feel that you are very blessed
you feel that you are the luckiest person in the whole universe.

in both situation
do remember
Your God is in control.
He is in control.

please, be humble. And keep your TRUST in him alone.
